Ray Alto is a fine man . . . a top restaurateur in Escondido, owns both the
Jalapeno Grill and La Tapatia . . . both
restaurants with a Mexican motif, flavor,
and menu . . . but Ray isn’t Mexican.
He’s a Kumeyaay Indian.

The reason that’s important to know is
because Ray and his extended family
members of about 60 persons, have lost
about $36 million over the past five
years.

Why? Because the San Pasqual Band of
Mission Indians say the Alto family is
not Kumeyaay. The Alto family has been
disenrolled by the Enrollment
Committee of the San Pasqual Band of
Mission Indians who own and operate
Valley View Casino.
Alto and his family are just part of over
2,500 California Indians who have been
“disen
rolled” from their tribes.

You see, Valley View makes a ton of
money . . . an estimated $3,307,500 net
income per month.
From that net profit the tribe pays out
60% in “per capita payments” to enrolled
members of the tribe.
How did we arrive at those figures, given
the fact that the tribal governments that
operate casinos are not required by law
to release financial statements, audited
or otherwise?

We learned from reliable sources inside
the tribe, as well as accountants who prepare state and federal tax returns, that
enrolled members aged 18 and over
receive an average of $10,500 per
month. There are 189 enrolled members in the San Pasqual Band.
You do the math:

189 x $10,500 per month = $1,984,500
per capita payout/monthly (per family
member over the age of 18).

If 60% of x = $1,984,500 then x must
equal $3,307,500 net revenues per
month generated by Valley View Casino.
And that, my friend, is how the cow ate
the cabbage.

(This figure is a conservative estimate based on
information from informed sources. It may be
much higher. Casinos are not required to provide audited financial statements. One has to
take information available and extrapolate to
arrive at an educated estimate).
At least 2,500 Indians have been disenrolled by at least two dozen California
tribes in the past decade, according to
estimates by Indian advocates and academics.

In the past, tmembers of a tribe were
shunned) when (they) committed an
offense of some sort, but it was rarely
permanent. These days, it’s happening
more and more – often by wealthy casino tribes. Less people in the tribe, more
money for remaining members. And,
unlike in the past, these decisions aren’t
being reversed.
http://fusion.net/story/4985/something-isthreatening-native-americans-and-its-calledtribal-disenrollment/
At least 39 tribes in California and several tribes from 15 other states have disenrolled some segment of their population. (Ibid).
The money in organized casino gaming
is so huge that the average reader has no
idea of the financial impact on the local
community, on the state, and on the

$25,500 respectively, monthly. That
translates to about $126,000 and
$306,000 respectively, annually. Those
are not salaries for work performed.
Those are “per capita” payments made to
enrolled members of each tribe.

Within San Diego County, The San
Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, and
the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians,
in Riverside County, award their enrolled
members with about $10,500 and

Absent any independent forensic examination of the tribal financial statements,
it would be difficult to build a case. Still,
with that large amount of money the
tempation is there for all types of ques-

“Vegas-style gaming, including slot machines, is
illegal in California. But Indian tribes have a
complicated relationship with the state and federal governments. Each tribe has its own agreement with the United States that determines
just how far its sovereignty extends, but in general a tribal government has the final say on
many of the laws that affect routine affairs on
its land.”

With the amount of money involved
there are consistent allegations of racketeering, including skimming of profits,
using casino revenues as personal banking accounts, and manipulation of tribal
members to gain more money per
enrolled member by decreasing the tribal
pool via a technique known as “disenrollment.”

tionable, and possibly criminal, actions.

If that is indeed the case there appears
to be little that can be done about it due
to sovereignty issues. The District
Attorney, the state Attorney General, the
Federal Attorney General cannot open
an investigation, under present law.
Their hands are tied. All power lies
within the tribal elders and their separate
“enrollment committees.”
There are a number of casinos in and
near San Diego County, Sycuan, Rincon,
Pauma, Pala, Barona, Viejas, San
Pasqual, and, in Riverside County,
Pechanga .
Let’s take a look at what has happening,
what is happening, and what is likely to
happen:

December 15, 2011:
According to Indian Country Today,
(https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/tod
ay/) Roughly two dozen California tribes
have disenrolled more than 2,500
Indians in the past decade on the basis
of not having proper ancestry, according
to estimates by Indian advocates and
academics, reported The New York
Times. More than 362,000 Indians reside
in California, according to the 2010 census.
While inner-tribal turmoil has on occasion incited disenrollment, critics attribute the high rates of California’s cast-off
tribal members to gambling revenues.
The state’s 60-plus Indian casinos netted
nearly $7 billion last year—more than
any other state, according to the Indian
Gaming Commission.

This week, a
compendium of wit,
wisdom and neat stuff you
can tell at parties. Enjoy!
THE COYOTE PRINCIPLE
CA VS. TEXAS

CALIFORNIA

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out and attacks the
Governor's dog, then bites the
Governor.

The Governor starts to intervene,
but reflects upon the movie "Bambi"
and then realizes he should stop
because the coyote is only doing what
is natural.
He calls animal control. Animal
Control captures the coyote and bills
the state $200 testing it for diseases
and $500 for relocating it.
He calls a veterinarian The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State
$200 testing it for diseases.

Tribal governments universally defend
their reasons for disenrolling members,
claiming they are removing people with
little tribal association, who likely joined
to exploit the services, scholarships and
monthly checks from casino profits.

Ray Alto and his family are just one element representing sad stories of a number of families who have been deeply
hurt, not only financially, but culturally,
being deprived of their fair share of tribal income as well as health and other
benefits.
How did this all happen?

Steve Russell, a retired trial court judge
from Texas, and a member of the
Cherokee nation, has studied and taught
this phenomenon of disenrollment. He
is currently Associate Professor
Emeritus of Criminal Justice, Indiana
University at Bloomington. He writes:
On February 25, 1987, the U.S. Supreme
Court told California it could not shut down
card games and high-stakes bingo on the reservations of the Morongo Band of Mission
Indians (less than 1,000 citizens) and the
Cabazon Band of Mission Indians (less than
50 citizens).
California is a PL (Public Law) 280 state,
meaning that Congress has given it the power to
pass criminal laws binding on tribal land.
However, gambling was legal in California at
that time, just heavily regulated. The state
allowed bingo with much smaller cash prizes
than the Indians offered and even had a state
lottery. The Supreme Court, consistent with
prior decisions, held that state regulations held
no force on Indian land.

State governments, particularly PL 280 governments, are unaccustomed to losing against
Indians when anything big was at stake.
Because the decision applied to gambling gener-

ally rather than just bingo and cards, the stakes
were very high.

Congress rode to the rescue within a year with
the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
did, however, regularize the procedure to open a
casino, and the immediate result was like a gold
rush… for non-Indians. Lawyers, construction
companies and experienced casino management
companies lined up to make deals with Indian
tribes, and some tribes were able to cut fairer
deals than others.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs does not track
the epidemic in public documents and does little
to stop it. The reason the BIA gives for noninvolvement in the lower 48 is respect for tribal
sovereignty as expounded in Santa Clara
Pueblo v. Martinez.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Santa
Clara Pueblo v. Martinez cut off the only federal court remedy for Indians deprived of citizenship in their tribal nations, the Indian Civil
Rights Act. Without recourse to ICRA, individual Indians are at the mercy of whatever faction controls tribal government. The power to
disappear Indians holds the potential to do great
harm.

After Santa Clara, disenrollment became a
robust and unreviewable tool to settle political
scores or to give expression to racism or to simply acquire a greater share of limited tribal
resources.
Because of existing laws and contracts between
the state of California and the Indian Nations,
the Indian Nations and their casinos are not
required to submit annual financial statements.
They claim sovereignty removes them from the
oversight of the state and federal government.
How it began:

In 1995, Pechanga opened their casino.

The buzzards eat the dead coyote.

The Governor goes to hospital and
spends $3,500 getting checked for
diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

And that, my friends, is why
California is broke and Texas is not.

The Governor spends $50,000 in
state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness program" for residents of the
area.

The Washington Post's Mensa
Invitational once again invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting,
or changing one letter, and supply a
new definition. Here are the winners:

The running trail gets shut down
for 6 months while Fish & Game
conducts a $100,000 survey to make
sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.

The State Legislature spends $2
million to study how to better treat
rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the
world.
The Governor's security agent is
fired for not stopping the attack. The
state spends $150,000 to hire and
train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes.

PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against
the state.
TEXAS

The Governor of Texas is jogging
with his dog along a nature trail. A
coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

The Governor shoots the coyote
with his state-issued pistol and keeps
jogging. The Governor has spent
$.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.

a refurbished bingo hall. The 600-member tribe
now has a large hotel and casino resort with its
partners, Las Vegas-based Harrah's

In April 2001, Pala, east of Fallbrook,
opened its casino, a full-fledged Las Vegas-style
operation with 2,000 slot machines. The Pala

then a midsized casino with 750 slot machines.
A month later, the 200-member Pauma tribe
opened a 850-slot casino in a metal-frame tent

How would you like an income that
averages $10,500 per month? That
works out to an annual income of about
$126,000 per year. That annual income
would not be salary, friend. No, you are
just given that amount every month.
Just for being you.
That is, if you are an enrolled member
of the San Pasqual Band of Mission
Indians.
If you are Indian and of the San Pasqual
Band but not an enrolled member then
you’re out of luck.

To give you some insight, and perhaps to
amplify the money involved, in a court
pleading from 2015 when Valley View
attempted to persuade the state to
authorize additional gaming licenses
which would increase the total slot
machines to 2000 machines, the casino
claimed a loss of $315,000,000 for the
past five years. Remember . . . this was
lost profits they argued for the difference between 2000 slot machines rather
than the 1500 they were authorized . . .
and this profit loss was ONLY for slot
machines! $63 MILLION a year for
each of five years . . . for 500 slot
machines!
As just one example, let us look at Ray
Alto and his family.

A court decision in 2008 affirmed that
the Alto family members were, indeed,
legitimate members of the tribe. The
decision also stated that this decision
was final.

And then, in January, 2011, almost 60
members, including the Alto family,
were disenrolled from the small San
Pasqual Band of Mission Indians - on a
3-2 vote by the Tribal Elders.

Gone was the monthly income, gone
were the health and family benefits,
gone was the tribal recognition of the
family and its history. Alto estimates the
losses for his family members (approximately 60 members) at $36.5 MILLION in losses for at least five years of
the Alto family’s ouster.
At the heart of the issue is whether the
descendants of Marcus Alto Sr. should
be considered blood members of the
tribe. Marcus Alto is Ray Alto's grandfather.

Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs
Larry Echo Hawk, then the highest
authority for the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, ruled that Alto was adopted
when three days old in 1907 by members of the tribe and therefore his
descendants are not truly blood members of the San Pasqual band. Alto died
in 1988. Even the year of Alto’s birth is
a point of contention. Documents also
mention 1903 and 1905 as birth dates.
The Paper has possession of a baptismal certificate that shows Roberto
Marco Alto, who was known in life as
"Marcus Alto" was born in Arlington,
California on April 25th, 1907 and baptized on May 26th, 1907. His parents
are listed as Jose Alto and Benedita
Barrios.
To be part of the San Pasqual band,
people have to be at least one-eighth
“blood of the band.” That limits membership to people who have a great-grandparent who is or was a full-blooded San
Pasqual Indian. The Paper has a DNA

Certificate of Ancestry that shows that
Raymond E. Alto is 30% Native
American, 70% European.
That
appears to qualify him as a true Native
American and not Mexican, as alleged
by Assistant Secretary Larry Echo
Hawk.

For its part, the San Pasqual Band of
Mission Indians argue that when it
comes to San Pasqual it's a lot different
than other tribes that disenrolled their
own members or native people from
their tribe. Most of the people who
came to San Pasqual are not San Pasqual
Indians, they are other Indians from different tribes who have come and settled
up on their land and tribe because of
Indian gaming.

San Pasqual, they argue, is not a safe
haven for Indians who want to think
that it's all about being Indian when it's
not; it's all about being San Pasqual
Indian versus Indians from different
tribes. “We are here to protect our ancestral
bloodlines from Indians, who think that you
have to be Indian to belong, when in fact you
have to be a San Pasqual Indian, blood of the
band, like the criteria for enrollment spells out
for all who seek enrollment here. The enrollment criteria for San Pasqual is only for San
Pasqual Indians ONLY.” (December 27,

attorney, Tracy Emblem.

Terminated Alto Family Sues
Bureau of Indian Affairs and Larry
Echo Hawk

A family expelled from the San Pasqual
Band of Mission Indians in Valley
Center earlier this year is suing the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in federal
court to have their status as tribal members restored.

Members of the Alto family say they are
still part of the San Pasqual tribe, which
owns the Valley View Casino, because
they have not been officially removed
from the tribe's rolls. However, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs' Assistant
Secretary, Larry Echo Hawk, decided in
January that the family does not belong
in the tribe based on information submitted under a 2007 complaint.
The lawsuit, which names Echo Hawk
and other U.S. Department of Interior
officials as defendants, was filed in
September by Tracy Emblem, the attorney for the Alto family.
In a court hearing held Tuesday in San
Diego, lawyers for the Alto family asked
Judge Irma Gonzalez to block their

During a three month period, from
December 2016 through February 2017,
over 15 acts of gang-related graffiti were
reported to the Escondido Police
Department and City of Escondido
graffiti hot-line. These “tags” were investigated and linked to one person responsible for the acts, totaling over $5000 in
damage and repair costs to Escondido
residents and the City of Escondido.
The graffiti was spread over all areas of
the city, both residential and commercial
locations.
Police investigators identified Eddy
Cordova Luna, a 26-year-old Escondido
resident, as being responsible for the
graffiti damage. A search of his residence yielded evidence linking Luna to
the graffiti tagging incidents, as well as
other felony crimes. On 02-16-17 Luna
was arrested and charged with the following: Felony Vandalism, Felon in
Possession of Ammunition, Parole
Violation, Felony Street Gang enhancement and Conspiracy.

In 2016, the City of Escondido Graffiti
Removal Team responded to approximately 6634 reports of graffiti vandalism, not including proactive removal at
city parks and recreation areas, costing
the City over $350,000 in repair and staff
costs.
The Escondido Police
Department is aggressively investigating
these crimes for a number of reasons.
Not only is graffiti a source of blight for
the city and its residents, but there are
serious gang violence implications associated with this criminal behavior.
Additionally, restitution is sought from
these taggers to help recover the costs
associated with this crime.
Anyone with information regarding tag-

ging incidents is asked to call the
Escondido Police Gang Unit at 760-8394717, or leave an anonymous tip at 760743-TIPS (8477). To report graffiti
damage and request free cleanup by a
City crew, call the Graffiti Hotline:760839-4OFF (4633), or utilize the
Escondido, Report It! app, available as a
free download for mobile devices.

According to witness and involved parties, a 2002 Honda CBR motorcycle
being driven by a 22 year old male resident of Escondido was traveling northbound on Broadway at a high rate of
speed. A 1999 Toyota 4Runner being
driven by a 59 year old resident of
Escondido was traveling southbound on
Broadway and made a left turn onto
Leslie Lane. The motorcycle collided
with the 4Runner which ejected the rider
and caused the 4Runner to overturn.
The driver of the 4Runner was uninjured. The motorcyclist was transported
to Palomar Medical Center with severe
head trauma. Alcohol or drugs do not
appear to be a factor.

ladies who live there.
I expect I’ll be in my newly assigned
room about four hours before I start
getting casseroles delivered to my
room to welcome me. (I took notice of
this phenomenon when several of my
contemporaries had their wives pull a
quick disappearing act on them and up
and died. The very next morning a
long line of loving and caring little old
ladies all showed up with casseroles.
All of these little old ladies were widows, divorcees or spinsters).

Received several comments on my new
career as gigolo to wealthy retired
women in retirement homes, chief of
which was from old friend (and brilliant writer) Kent Ballard:
Tell her (your special lady) you’re working
undercover on an expose of women in retirement homes who are addicted to chewing
tobacco. Tell her of the sour-pussed old women
who have brown drool running down their
chins, staining their dresses, and smelling up
entire facilities. Make them sound so haggard
and loathsome that she wouldn’t go near one
on a bet. Make sure she sees you packing lots
of Alka-Seltzer for your stomach and Vicks
Vapo-Rub to dab under your nose. She’ll stay
away from those places like they were plague
houses, while you molest and pillage to your
heart’s content.

Then make up a horrible-sounding medical
condition to tell the nice old ladies in the
homes so you won’t have to eat their godawful
casseroles, but that your doctor recommended
drinking vast amounts of alcohol to kill the
rampant bacteria in your knees. Soon they’ll
drop the casseroles and be bringing you halfgallon jugs of booze, which you can kindly
share with them–then loot ’em for all they’re
worth. Thank them ever so much for bringing

are none too happy with the state of
California

This was made evident when Abed gave
his annual State of the City address last
Wednesday at the California Center for
the Arts, Escondido in front of 450
attendees.
A short video highlighted the day-today activities and lifestyles of residents
as well as Abed commenting on the
increased development and economic
activity.

Abed, in discussing the city’s increasing
requirement to meet its state obligation,
let it be known that the state was mismanaging pension obligations across
California.
Abed said, as the council discussed at
the prior week’s City Action Plan meeting, the lowered return of investment
from 7.5 percent to 7 percent will
increase the city’s spending on the fund
by $20 million by 2022. Currently,
Escondido pays $20 million toward
pensions.
The city has created a $500,000 pension
liability reserve for long-term stabilization.

“This unsustainable unfunded mandate by the
state is a financial crisis,” Abed said. “I am
willing and ready to lead a class action lawsuit
against the state to protect the taxpayers.
Sacramento says we are your government and
we are here to help you. We say, ‘Sacramento
no thank you, just leave us alone.’”
He also touched on poverty and the rising numbers of homelessness in the
city. Since 2007, the poverty rate has
climbed from 12 percent to 16 percent,
a rate similar to San Diego County.

•••••
So happy to report the Evan Lowe is
alive and well. Evan is the son of
Herb and Stephanie Lowe ... brilliant
dentist who has served North San
Diego County for so many years.

Evan was admitted to the Emergency
Room several weeks ago in terrible
condition. He had an auto-immune
disease hit him as well as a vicious bacteria that was eating away at his internal organs. He was in such bad shape
the doctors did not think he’d last the
night.
When I heard of this I was both
shocked and deeply saddened. You
see, Evan and I have a connection.

When he was only about five or six
years old, Herb, who was a fellow
Kiwanis member at the time, brought
Evan to our Kiwanis Club meeting. I

As for homelessness, Abed said there are
532 people without homes, although 307
are sheltered, but the number of unsheltered has doubled in the last year to 225.
Abed blamed the rising number of
homeless on the state’s action to release
criminals from prison and lower the
threshold in prosecuting drug and theft
charges.

“We have partnered with Solutions for Change
and contributed $2.1 million to build 33 transitional housing units in our city to provide permanent solutions for homeless families,” the
mayor added.
On the economic front, Abed boasted
about the city’s success with 560 new net
businesses last year, while Westfield
North County has also expanded.

The city has also fast tracked 35 “major”
industrial, commercial and residential
projects with a value of $1.2 billion.

As a result of new businesses, sales tax
hit a record high of $36 million in 2016.
Two of those projects in the pipeline,
however, are also addressing a need the
city has been chasing for decades in the
form of hotels. Stone Brewing and the
Marriott Springhill Suites at La Terraza
were approved and a needed addition to
the city, Abed said.

“Our first full service hotel will break ground in
the next couple of months,” he added. When
Stone Brewing Company submits their plans to
build a new hotel, the city promised to approve
their application in 60 short days. We are
proud to have such a successful business here in
Escondido.”

Evan sat right next to me and we hit it
off right away. We chatted and played
and had a ball. At the end of the
meeting, Evan turned to me and said,
“Can you come over to our house so we can
play some more?”
Well, then and there I fell in love with
the kid. I watched him grow up, go
through high school, go into college,
becomea a lifeguard, meet the love of
his life . . . and then, this.
I was sickened to even think of the
thought that we might lose this precious kid.

But he beat the odds. To the doctors
and nurses amazement he not only
made it throught the night be he continued to rally. He was put on a respirator for awhile . . . but ere long, that,
too, was removed. Several days later
he was discharged to go home, put on
some weight, and heal.

I can only imagine the joy that Herb
and Stephanie feel at getting their son
back . . . as I know I was overjoyed to
know he had made it.

Some of us old folks ... well, our time
to leave this life may not be that far off
. . . but a beautiful young man like
Evan? No way. It was just unthinkable that we might lose him.
Thanks to the doctors and nurses who
pulled Evan through . . . and thanks to
medeical science . . . that has progressed so far over the years. And
thanks to Evan for not giving up.

removal from the tribe, force the tribe to
pay members of the family their share of
casino revenues and restore their health
care benefits.

A lawyer for the bureau, Tom Stahl, said
the case is moot because the federal government considers the family's disenrollment case over. Stahl said the decision
issued by Echo Hawk was final.
"According to the BIA, they are not tribal
members," Stahl said in court.

EDWARD SIFUENTES

Members of the Alto family are the
descendants of Marcus Alto Sr., who
died in 1988, and whose lineage was
questioned in a challenge filed by another tribal member, Ron Mast, in August
2007. Mast argued in his challenge that
Marcus Alto Sr. was adopted by a San
Pasqual family, but was not their biological son.
Under the tribe's law, only those biologically related to tribal members can be
enrolled in the tribe. The tribe's constitution allows the Bureau of Indian Affairs
to make the final decision on enrollment
disputes.
Most other tribes, such as Pala and
Pechanga bands which have also been
involved in recent enrollment disputes,
keep the power to decide who belongs
to themselves.

On Nov. 26, 2008, the Bureau of Indian
Affairs Pacific Regional Director, Dale
Morris, sided with the Alto family, saying
the evidence did not warrant their

ouster. But on January 28, 2011, Echo
Hawk overturned the regional director's
decision.
A "fair interpretation of the most probative,
objective and competent evidence available amply
supports the (San Pasqual) Enrollment
Committee's recommendation to disenroll the
Alto descendants," Echo Hawk wrote in his
decision.
(Subsequent to that decision and after a great
hue and cry against it, Echo Hawk left the San
Pasqual Band of Mission Indians and has
taken a leadership role with the LDS (Church
of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints).

The tribe immediately banned the family
from voting on tribal matters. Those
who were employed in the casino lost
their jobs. About a dozen family members were evicted from homes on the
reservation. All Altos lost their health
care benefits, including some older
members who are sick with cancer and
diabetes and in need of medicine.

A decision in 2008 affirmed that the
Alto family members were, indeed, legitimate members of the tribe. The decision also stated that this decision was
final.

Emblem argues the Department of
Interior had a duty to apply principles of
res judicata and collateral estoppel
because the same claim had been previously adjudicated and a final and conclusive decision was issued.

She also argues that the successor
Assistant Secretary’s 2011 decision to
declassify Marcus Sr.’s, status as “nonIndian” to dis-enroll petitioners was arbitrary. There must be clear and convincing evidence to divest the petitioners of
their Indian citizenship and federal

were enrolled members of the tribe for
years, and should be re-enrolled as member of the tribe. They have submitted
both a DNA Certificate of Ancestry,
which shows Ray Alto is 30% Native
American, 70% European, as well as a
baptismal certificate showing Roberto
Marco Alto, who was known as “Marcus”
being born on April 25, 1907 and baptized on May 25, 1907.

On April 10, 1995, Assistant Secretary
Ada Deer sent a final decision to the
Band’s attorney, Eugene Madrigal, which
affirmed the Alto descendants’ tribal
membership
eligibility.
Assistant
Secretary Deer found that “both [Maria]
and her husband, Joe Alto, were full-blooded
Diegueno Indians.
She went on to say Although Marcus Sr.

Emblem has filed a petition for certiorari
which is a means of petitioning the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit, in the Supreme Court of
the United States, to hear the case; she
has also submitted an amicus curiae
(friend of the court) brief that supports
her position.

The questions presented are (1) whether
the doctrine of res judicata and collateral
estoppel precluded the Assistant
Secretary of the Department of Interior
in 2011 from revisiting his predecessor’s
1995 final and conclusive decision
about petitioners’ status as Native
Americans; and (2) whether the
Assistant Secretary’s 2011 decision to
declassify petitioners’ Native American
Indian status violated the Administrative
Procedures Act.

are, indeed, Native American, that they

was not previously enrolled on the
January 1, 1959, membership roll, he
possessed 4/4 degree Indian blood of
the Band which is more than the 1/8
degree Band blood required. He qualified for enrollment because he was born
before January 1, 1959, and he was living
on April 27, 1985....[¶] All available documentation involving this case has been thoroughly reviewed and based on the preponderance of
evidence, I am sustaining the decision made by
Acting Sacramento Area Director on January
31, 1994 upholding the enrollment of Marcus
Alto, Sr., and his descendants....[¶] This
decision is final for the Department.
From 1995 until 2008, the Band abided
by Assistant Secretary Deer’s final decision until an enrollment challenge was
brought against Marcus’ descendants
and upheld by a 3-2 enrollment committee vote. The disenrollment action was
based on the same 1995 litigated claim

Tribal Vice-Chair Robert Phelps, who is
a history professor, and was also an
enrollment committee member, voted
against petitioners’ disenrollment.
Phelps notified the Department of
Interior that the action taken by the 3-2
committee vote to disenroll the petitioners had violated the petitioners’ due
process rights. Phelps advised the
Department that “disenrollment is a serious
matter. To rob a family of the rights and benefits of tribal membership, to say nothing of
their cultural identity, requires overwhelming
proof supporting.” Phelps, it should be
noted, is an Associate Professor of
History at California State University,
East Bay.

Typically a petition for WRIT OF CERTIORARI is granted by the Supreme
Court at a very low rate of about 5%.
Long odds.
Recently, a similar case involving the
Pala Tribe, resulted in the court not
granting the writ. Not a good omen for
the Alto case.
As to the San Pasqual Band of Mission
Indians, their position is:
The Alto's were not disenrolled from San
Pasqual because of greed. They were disenrolled
because they should never have been enrolled in
the first place; they were NOT San Pasqual
Indians.

The Mexican baby was taken in and raised by
Maria Alto. See John Peabody Harrington.
Back in 1925 Maria Alto, the San Pasqual
Indian was interviewed by him. His field notes,
available on line from the Smithsonian, state
that Maria's "ADOPTED son, Marcus lived
in Escondido with his wife and three children."
San Pasqual Reserve is not a safe haven for
other Indians from different tribes of Indian
ancestry, this reserve was established for the San
Pasqual Kumeyaay Indians and their descendants to live and prosper as a tribe.

We cannot and will not look the other way
when it comes to the very people who come here
for personal gain, and that gain is the CASINO AND PAYOUTS.

These Indians around the outside area think
you just have to possess "Indian" to be a San
Pasqual Indian. Not so, you shall and must be
a San Pasqual Kumeyaay Indian to be qualified, and show your direct descendant to whom
you descend from, and the genealogy to back the
history of your ancestors to your elders to your
parents and then to you, and in all, one must
meet the 1/8th degree requirement and follow
the process under tribal law fed/regulation
CFR part 48.1-48.14. That's the law and one
must follow the process and read carefully into
the history of San Pasqual and see why the
Kumeyaay Ancestors implemented the words
"Blood of the Band" in all clause relating to

membership, because the ancestors felt that since
the BIA didn't accept the 1909 Census as the
base roll, where every last San Pasqual Indian
is documented, from 1852-1909, the ancestors
felt that the wording blood of band would protect them as a people, because of people who
were named on the 1910 census who were
NOT SAN PASQUAL KUMEYAAY
INDIANS.

So blood of the band was applied with in tribal
law and has been since 1910. The law blood of
the band remains the main statue that most
Indians and non Indians and adopted Indians
who come here can't meet. Why? Because they
are not San Pasqual Kumeyaay Indians. Band
references to San Pasqual band of Mission
Indians. Blood refers to Kumeyaay Blood. How
does a San Pasqual Indian distinguish himself
from other Indians? That's easy. There’s a
timeline of history for every San Pasqual
Kumeyaay Indian ancestor from 1852-1909.

Editor’s Note: This entire statement was
reviewed by Chairman Allen Lawson. He
confirmed and supported the statement made
above.
So much for the Valley View Casino.

Some background on the San
Pasqual Band of Mission Indians:

The San Pasqual Bnd of Indians is made
up of descendants of a village of about
100 people evicted at gunpoint from the
San Pasqual Valley by sheriff ’s deputies
in the 1870s to make way for white settlers. Their homeland is now the San
Diego Zoo Safari Park (formerly known
as the Wild Animal Park).

Over the next several decades, members
of the tribe moved to cities and other
reservations and married non-Indians.
The government finally established a
reservation on five parcels in Valley
Center in 1910.

applicants, however, have no claim to
San Pasqual blood and are simply trying to finagle their way into some easy
money, said Diana Martinez, then the
spokeswoman and tribal chairwoman
for the San Pasqual Indians.

"Some (of the new applicants) have San
Pasqual lineage, but it's too thin," she said.
"I figure that maybe 200 at most, out of the
475, will qualify. There are lots of rumors
that people affiliated with other tribes are trying to enroll in ours."
"The enrollment committee declares and verifies that the disputed Marcus R. Alto Sr.,
and all of his descendants have been disenrolled and all membership rights have been
suspended as part of the disenrollment,"
according to the letter dated Dec. 29
and provided by Martinez to the North
County Times.

That brings you up to speed on the San
Pasqual Band of Mission Indians and
on the Ray Alto disenrollment issue
(which is merely a microcosm of what
his happening through both the state
of California and the nation).
Observations about possible
actions:

1.
If the disenrolled are able to
come together as an organized group
and travel to Sacramento and camp out
on the doorstep of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, and demand to be
heard, they will get media attention as
well as attention from officials.
2.
The same technique should be
applied to members of the Assembly
and State Senate.
3.
The same technique should be
applied to California’s Members of
Congress.
4.
These protests should be
peaceful, but regularly scheduled, and

loud enough to attract attention.
5.
A ‘scorched earth policy’ exists . . .
but probably an uphill battle, given the
heavy treasury available to the tribe and
its casino operators. If an organization
can successfully petition the government
to withdraw recognition of the San
Pasqual Band of Mission Indians as a
tribal government then they may not
legally operate businesses, including a
casino; they would also be ineligible for
federal grants. This information directly
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Knowledgeable legal counsel have suggested that this is, indeed, a viable option
but it would likely only be successful if
ALL disenrolled Indians, nationwide,
came together and lobbied and filed suit
to bring this about, to the extent that
such legislative change would affect their
own tribes and its policies.

6.
If officials do not respond, it is
only a matter of time before individuals
and/or groups take physical action –
revenge against disenrollment committee members . . . against tribal elders, and
against government officials who “do
nothing” to address the problem. This
translates to violence. Nobody wants
that . . . but it is likely to happen if the
problems are not addressed.
Look at your own situation. If someone
took $126,000 a year away from you and
your family, through no fault of your
own, and nobody listened or acted on
your complaints, would you not feel
compelled to take more forceful action?
The last action is, of course, the least
desirable . . . but is a distinct possibility
if the voices of the disenrolled are not
heard.
Update: The petition for writ of certiori has been denied by the Supremen

For years, the San Pasqual Band of
Mission Indians was a small, obscure
Indian tribe that drew little attention and
fewer residents.

They lived on 1,412 acres in five noncontiguous tracts. Some of the elders
would still speak their native tongue of
Kumeyaay (Diegueno).
Then something interesting happened.

This sleepy little Indian village suddenly
started attracting more and more residents, all of whom claimed close family
ties to the San Pasqual Band of Indians.
Interest in membership grew stronger
when the tribe opened a casino in 2001.
Membership jumped to 363 people.

But the windfall has lots of people-many of whom left the impoverished
reservation years ago in favor of a mainstream life style--checking their family
trees, factoring in their marriages to
non-San Pasqual Indians and determining whether they, their children or
grandchildren can qualify for a slice of
the money pie.

The final decision was to be made by a
committee of tribal members, subject to
review by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The last official census of the San
Pasqual Indians, conducted by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1959 and
approved in 1966, listed 229 official San
Pasqual Indians.

Prompted in part by word of the pending windfall, another 475 people had
applied for formal enrollment with the
San Pasqual Indians.

Rebuilding our transportation
infrastructure

Last week I joined my Assembly
Republican colleagues to announce
introduction of the Traffic Relief
and Road Improvement Act
(TRRIP). Unlike other proposals
you may have heard about, our plan
will
restore
and
enhance
California’s transportation infrastructure, without raising taxes!
Since the 1970s our population has
almost doubled, but our highway
system has not kept pace.
Californians pay the second highest
gas prices and the highest gas taxes
(including cap-and-trade) in the
nation. While General Fund spending has increased by more than $36
billion over the past six years, the
increased expenditures have not
gone toward highways, while existing transportation funding has
often been diverted to other uses. If
we’re going to keep people moving
and our economy growing, our
increasingly inadequate highways
must be rebuilt and upgraded.
Briefly, our plan generates $5.6 billion by dedicating all vehicle sales
and insurance taxes to transporta-

tion projects, which are currently
diverted to the General Fund.
Another $2.2 billion will be generated by repaying funds raided from
transportation during the recession.
These funds will support repairs to
local roads, capacity improvements
and traffic relief, highway maintenance and public transit projects.

TRRIP also includes reforms to
ensure taxpayer money is being
spent effectively. It removes regulatory red tape that slows street
repairs, improves accountability by
establishing a Transportation
Inspector General, and provides
audits of major projects to ensure
our transportation dollars are being
spent efficiently and appropriately.

Providing reliable highways, streets
and roads is one of the primary
responsibilities of state government. Our economy and our way of
life depend upon a transportation
network designed for a growing
population of almost 40 million
people, not a woefully inadequate,
crumbling system built for a population half its current size.

Historically Speaking
by Tom Morrow

states' rights Southerners to what was
then a Whig coalition to defeat
President Van Buren's re-election bid.

Because of the short duration of
Harrison's one-month term, Tyler
served longer than any president in
U.S. history who was never elected to
the office. To forestall constitutional
uncertainty, Tyler immediately took the
oath of office, moved into the White
House, and assumed full presidential
powers, a precedent that would govern
future successions and eventually
become codified in the 25th
Amendment.
From Veep to President in 30 days

John Tyler was our 10th president, but
he was vice president under William
Henry Harrison for 30 days earlier –
one of those oddities of history and the
first Veep to become president without
being elected.

Tyler and Harrison were sworn into
office in 1841. After taking the oath of
office, Harrison insisted upon delivering his 30-minute inauguration speech
in a rain storm. He caught pneumonia
and a month later he was dead.

John Tyler was a Virginian who was
born March 29, 1790. When he took
office, he was known as a supporter of
states' rights, which endeared him to his
fellow Virginians. His actions as president showed he was willing to back
nationalist policies as long as they did
not infringe on the powers of the states.
Still, the circumstances of his unexpected rise to the presidency, and its threat
to the presidential ambitions of Henry
Clay and other politicians, left him
estranged from both major parties.
A firm believer in “manifest destiny,” a
term calling for the U.S. to take over
the entire continent to the Pacific,
President Tyler sought to strengthen
and preserve the Union through territorial expansion, most notably the annexation of Texas (which was brought to
fruition by Tyler's successor, James K.
Polk).

Tyler, born to an eminent Virginia family, came to national prominence at a
time of political upheaval. In the 1820s
the nation's only strong political party,
Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicans,
split into factions. Though initially a
Democrat, his opposition to Andrew
Jackson and Martin Van Buren led him
to ally with the Whig Party. Tyler
served as a Virginia state legislator,
governor, U.S. representative, and U.S.
senator before his election as vice president in the presidential election of
1840. He was put on the ticket to attract

He initially sought election to a full
term as president, but after failing to
gain the support of either Whigs or
Democrats, he withdrew. When the
American Civil War began in 1861,
Tyler sided with the Confederate government, and won election to the
Confederate House of Representatives
shortly before his death. Although
some have praised Tyler's political
resolve, his presidency is generally
held in low esteem by historians. He is
considered an obscure president, with
little presence in the American cultural
memory.

Throughout his life, he suffered from
poor health. As Tyler aged, he suffered
more frequently from colds during the
winter. On Jan. 12, 1862, after complaining of chills and dizziness, he collapsed. Tyler was treated, but his health
did not improve, and he made plans to
return home. As he lay in bed the night
before, he began suffocating. Just after
midnight, Tyler took a last sip of
brandy, and told his doctor, "I am
going. Perhaps it is best." He died
shortly thereafter, most likely due to a
stroke.

Tyler's death on Jan. 18, 1862, resulted
in the only president in U.S. history not
to be officially recognized in
Washington, due to his allegiance to
the Confederacy. He had requested a
simple burial, but Confederate
President Jefferson Davis devised a
grand, politically pointed funeral,
painting Tyler as a “hero” to the new
nation. Accordingly, at his funeral, the
coffin of the 10th president of the
United States was draped with a
Confederate flag; he remains the only
U.S. president ever laid to rest under a
foreign flag.
Tyler is buried in Hollywood Cemetery
in Richmond, Virginia, near the
gravesite of former President James
Monroe. Tyler has since been the
namesake of several U.S. locations,
including the city of Tyler, Texas,
named for him because of his role in
the annexation of Texas.

Home Equity Conversion
Mortgages (HECMs), also
known as reverse mortgage
loans, help Americans age 62
and older convert a portion of
their home equity into tax-free
money. They are insured by
the
Federal
Housing
Administration (FHA) and
allow seniors to age in place
and achieve retirement security.

A reverse mortgage loan allows
you to turn some of the equity
in your home into cash to
improve your lifestyle in whatever way you choose. You will
continue to live in your home,
retain ownership and will not
be required to make any
monthly mortgage payments
during the loan period. Instead
of repaying the loan monthly,
the loan balance is repaid when
all borrowers have left the
home. The amount you receive
is based on current interest
rates, the age of the youngest
borrower and your appraised
home value.
Common uses of a
reverse mortgage

The proceeds from a reverse
mortgage can be used for
almost anything:
•Pay off an existing
mortgage and eliminate monthly mortgage payments.
•Make retirement savings last longer.
•Use
a
“standby”
HECM reverse mortgage
growing line of credit to preserve investment
accounts
during market downturns or

build a safety net for unplanned
emergencies, home repairs and
healthcare expenses.
•Supplement your retirement income with monthly
advances.
•Use a HECM for
Purchase loan to buy a home
that better fits your needs.
•Support aging in place
expenses like caregiving and
home modifications.
Recent
HECM
program
changes to protect you:

Recent HECM program guidelines were put in place by HUD
to protect borrowers and further strengthen the HECM
reverse mortgage loan program.
• Financial Assessment: Recent
HECM program changes to
protect you will require a more
thorough evaluation of a borrower’s ability to meet the obligations of his/her HECM
reverse mortgage loan.
• Non-borrowing Spouse: New
loan amounts are available to
borrowers with a non-borrowing spouse under the age of 62.
New rules also allow the eligible spouses of borrowers who
pass away to stay in the home
without foreclosure.

• More Affordable: Upfront
mortgage insurance premiums
(MIPs) have been lowered by
the FHA. If you take not more
than 60% of your proceeds in
the first year, you will only be
charged an upfront MIP of
0.5% of the appraised home
value. If you cross the 60%
threshold, the upfront MIP will
be 2.5% (on a $200,000 home,
2.5% = $5,000 vs. 0.5% =
$1,000).

Each change to the program
guidelines have been implemented with the borrower’s
best interests in mind and to
protect their largest asset in
their retirement. The reverse
mortgage offers solutions to a
variety of financial issues.

A business with a dozen or more
networked PCs has “in house” or
“outside contract” Information
Technology service. The IT, or,
Information Technologist, often
makes the technology decisions
for the business. These decisions
can be influenced by the IT’s own
personal agenda rather than what
is best for the business. His
knowledge or lack thereof, job

avoidance are all possibilities. It’s
simply human nature. Prudent

only way we know how to get you
what you need.

Today’s family of four has a $160
cable bill that includes entertainment, broad band Internet service
and perhaps a land line. The service for their four smart phones
costs another $160 each month.

modern family’s lifestyle consists
of three big screen TVs, four
smart phones, one desk top PC,
two notebook PCs, two game consoles, one tablet and an Amazon

Clustering Development – Country Club
Area Development

Many residents have emailed to express concern
or support about development on the old
Country Club property. Zoning allows over 600
homes but the current proposal calls for
construction of 392 homes, trail buffers, a
restaurant area, pool and community space.
Concerns about the lot size reductions are
noted, but I thought perhaps it would be useful
to review the concept of clustering. Below are

The priest then asked, 'Have you ever

To which the rabbi replied, 'Yes, on one

tasted a ham sandwich.'
The priest nodded in understanding
and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and
asked the priest, 'Father, is it still a
requirement of your church that you remain
celibate?'
The priest replied, 'Yes, that is still very
much a part of our faith.'

The priest replied, 'Yes, rabbi, on one
occasion I was weak and broke with my

The General Plan establishes the rationale,
goals, objectives, and policies for future actions
within the community. Development clustering
is permitted pursuant to General Plan
residential clustering policies. Clustering
involves assessing the natural characteristics of
a site and grouping the buildings or lots through
an on-site transfer of density rather than
distributing them evenly throughout the project
as in a conventional subdivision. Not only do
cluster developments help preserve open space,
by allowing smaller lots in buildable areas, they
also tend to minimize the visual impacts
associated with development, reduce the cost of
building and maintaining public roads.

Examples of developments that used clustering
include the Hidden Trails development where
residential units were clustered on flatter
portions of the site to preserve agricultural uses
on hillside areas. Also parts of the Rancho San
Pasqual neighborhood incorporated clustering
to preserve hillsides and incorporate public and
private amenities. Without the use of clustering,
individual homes would consume all the

Telling the Truth

Recently we have been introduced to
two unusual ideas about truth, posttruth and fake news. What are we to
believe? As a child I was taught to
tell the truth regardless of the circumstances. Telling the truth resulted in a less punishment, but lying
brought the wrath of my dad upon
me. Most of us remember the
fabled story of George Washington,
who as a child, cut down the cherry
tree. When asked by his father who
cut the tree down, George said, “I
cannot tell a lie. I did.” That legacy was
supposed to be a foundation for our
country, truth telling. Yet, who tells
the truth today?
Perhaps the problem is not who is
telling us what to believe, but more,
do we believe what we want to,

Chuckles
Cont. on Page 11

whether it is true or not? We live in
an age of propaganda, which feeds
into our own concept of truth. This
works beautifully with post-truth
and fake news. We love a good
story, especially if it is about a person or event we don’t like. How
quickly we believe it. These two
concepts are not new. People have
had a need to satisfy their beliefs
and emotions since time began,
without examining all the facts.
Consider Nazi Germany and Joe
Goebles, the propaganda Minister,
who swayed an entire nation into
believing what led to one of the
most disastrous wars ever and
deaths of over thirty-five million
people. Did anyone ask what was
true or did they believe what they
wanted to believe?

We could well heed the consequences of such a way, as we listen
to our news as presented by the
media, government, and business
representatives. For us, we might
not be able to change the way we
are victimized by the post-truth and
fake news promoters, but we can
contribute to the truth by following
Jesus’ teaching by letting our yes be
yes and our no be no. It is a simple
matter, says Christ. Say what you
mean and tell the truth. Anything
beyond these is of evil. Matt. 5:37

Irena (Ina) Marie
Bradley

ESCONDIDO On January 23rd, 2017, Irena Marie
Bradley passed away. Born in Berlin,
Germany to Doctor Maximilian Kryn
and wife Elika, her childhood was
marked by life in war torn downtown
Berlin. She endured the bombings and
destruction, loss of family wealth,
imprisonment of both parents by the
Nazi’s, eventually escaping the
Communist Sector of Berlin by leaving
their home and possessions behind.
Times were so tough, Irena separated
from her stepmother Gertrud and halfsister Maja, and was left to be raised by
nuns at a boarding school.
Irena married US serviceman, Mark
Piette, and had two loving sons, before
immigrating to California, where she
later earned her coveted US Citizenship.
She later divorced and fought the tough
fight of a single working Mom in her

adopted country. In the early 70’s, she
met and married Wilbur Bradley of
Escondido, ran the North San Diego
chapter of NOW, was named Woman of
the Year, earned a BA in Social Work,
then a MA in Public Administration and
Human Services Management, and spent
decades working for non-profit agencies
- helping drug addicts and alcoholics,
the mentally challenged, homeless, and
abused women and children.
After her retirement, Irena hosted
